I'll never buy an oodle but I do have some possible ideas..
MAN'S BEST EXPENSIVE FRIEND
So apparently during covid related lock downs, people have been buying dogs. And not just any dogs mind you but specially bred oodles. That's a poodle (used for hypoallergenic reasons Lu tells me?) bred with something else. Like a Labrador (Ladradoodle) or a Cavalier (Cavoodle) and they're spending thousands for the privilege too (which makes my $450 Labrador Charlie from years ago an absolute bargain!)
So today we chatted to Dr Renee the local vet about what to do if you're thinking of buying such a custom breed and the possibility that it might be more poodle than Rhodesian Ridgeback or more St Bernard that poodle mix.
I pondered out loud a couple of breed ideas. If you mix a Rottweiler with a poodle (provided it doesn't eat the poodle first) does that create a Roodle?
And if you sub a Great Dane with the rotty, will that create a Great Doodle?
I know, I know, try the veal you great audience...
THE SONG THAT TURNED THE TABLES
I do like a suprise, I enjoy being the underdog. And that's where I thought I'd be in our latest Fight for your Flashback song v song segment. To celebrate the Albury Gold Cup this Thursday and Friday, we picked a 'racing' each song to duke it out. Lu opted for some classic Queen, from their A Day At The Races Album:
Where as I was far less subtle. I think of horse racing, I think of car racing. I think of car racing, I think of Cake..
And the people (thank you people) thought the same way as Cake's The Distance reigned supreme (and got played as the winner.)
Scores are tied with 1 a piece. Can't wait to hear what's battling next week!
I CAN HEAR THE 80S
Well 1989 to be exact, first year of the Nintendo Game boy. One's popped up on Facebook classifieds this morning and as soon as I saw it was being sold with an original Tetris cart, the theme started playing in my head. Then shortly after that it played on air because sharing is caring.
Am I buying it? No. Would I have a use for a Nintendo Game boy? Absolutely not. My kids would huff at its tiny monochromatic screen before moving on, back to their rooms for the latest in Minecraft and Roblox add ons. But it's still nice to reminisce publicly about the toys we had growing up.
TOMORROW NEVER COMES
But if it does, we're talking movies (Oscars coming up soon!), football, funding for the local hospital (or lack thereof) whatever happens between now and then. Oh and hopefully I don't have to make anymore last second changes to my hopefully strong Supercoach side this week!
Stay tuned!
